Like in ''Brawl'', Olimar is completely silent, rather than being voiced by Kazumi Totaka like he is in the ''Pikmin'' series, while Hajime Wakai's portrayal of Pikmin from ''{{s|pikipedia|Pikmin 2}}'' is once again repurposed for Red, Blue, Yellow, White and Purple Pikmin. Winged Pikmin are voiced by Atsuko Asashi, using voice clips recycled from ''Pikmin 3''. Alph, despite having his own unique voice in ''Pikmin 3'', is also completely silent as well in ''SSB4'', much like Olimar is.

Olimar is ranked 21st out of 58 on the [[tier list]], placing him at the top of the C tier. This is a significant drop from his top-tier placement in ''[[Super Smash Bros. Brawl]]'', where he was ranked 3rd out of 38. As in ''Brawl'', Olimar's signature [[Pikmin (species)|Pikmin]] possess an impressive level of respective utility: they grant him respectable KO and damage-racking capabilities, which is further supplemented by Olimar's solid frame-data, as Olimar can make usage of them to deal direct and/or indirect damage via his standard movesets, and by possessing the Pikmin latch onto opponents via [[Pikmin Throw]], respectively.

The Pikmin also grant Olimar a potent [[grab]] game: each of them function as [[Grab#Tether grabs|disjointed grabs]]; White Pikmin-based pummel is tied with {{SSB4|Shulk}}'s [[Monado Arts|Buster]]-boosted pummel as the most damaging in the game; Blue Pikmin-based up throw is a viable KOing option at high percents; and Red Pikmin-based down throw is a very reliable combo starter even at high percents. Lastly, his new [[up special move]], [[Winged Pikmin]], functions as a maneuverable, flight-based [[recovery]] that can be performed regardless of whether or not Olimar has Pikmin equipped,<ref name="Direct">[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7xUWnQu2Grs Super Smash Bros. Direct 4.8.2014]</ref> which makes them vastly superior to [[Pikmin Chain]]'s [[tether recovery]].

Although his competitive prospects and placings were accelerating, Olimar's rare usage negatively stood out compared with other high-tier characters. To reflect this, he dropped 30th on the second tier list. As before, representatives such as Dabuz and Shuton continued to defeat top players at high-level tournaments and achieve great placings. These demonstrations allowed Olimar to achieve 27th and then to 21st on the third and fourth tier lists, respectively. Although he was not dominating as he was in ''Brawl'', Olimar has nevertheless managed to achieve solid success despite the quicker mechanics and the dominance of the DLC characters, especially {{SSB4|Corrin}} and {{SSB4|Bayonetta}}.
